This will not be the last time this season that Ross is going to have a big game in Big East Conference play. Kam Jones can not bail this team out every single game and his teammates are going to have to bail him out every once in a while.
Other Players Who Scored In Double Figures
To go along with Ross’s 27 points, three other players scored in double figures for head coach Shaka Smart. Kam Jones scored 11 points, grabbed four rebounds, and recorded five assists. Stevie Mitchell scored 13 points, grabbed five rebounds, and recorded one assist.
David Joplin scored 12 points, grabbed seven rebounds, and recorded two assists. This Marquette basketball team is very deep this season. Also, the Georgetown Hoyas are a team that will cause some problems in Big East Conference play for the rest of the college basketball season. Georgetown has a chance to make the NCAA Tournament in 2025 also.
